SIN the early part of January was seized,

mentioned my trouble to him, asked him il he
could do anything tor me. He said yes, he
| could. placed myself under his care then
and there, and it was only a couple of days
until my back got stronger. He told me it
would take from three to four months to cure

Ibid he do it?''

Signal Dangers Which Are Made
Known Before Consumption APP
pears.
When catarrh has existed in the head and
the upper part of the throat for any length
OF time-the patient living in district where
| people are subject to catarrhal affection-aud
| the disease has been left uncured, the catarrh
| invariably, sometimes slowly, extends down
! the windpipe and into the bronchial tubes,
which tubes convey the air into the different
parts of the lungs. The tubes become af-
| fected from the swelling and the mucus aris-
| ing from catarrh, and in some instances
| become plugged up so that the air cannot get
in as freely as it should Shortness of breath
! follows and the patient breathes with labor
| and difficulty.
| In other cases there is Il sound of cracking
| and wheeling inside the chest. At this stage
Of q hrnut is oil
| rapid than when In health. The patient also
| has hot flashes over his body.
The pain which accompanies this condition
| is of dull character, felt in the chest behind
| the breast bone or under the shoulder blade.
| The pain may come and go--last few DAYS
and then be absent for several others. The
| cough that occurs in the first stages of bron-
| chial catarrh is dry, comes at intervals, is
| hacking in character and usually most
| troublesome in the morning on arising or GO
| ing to bed at night, and it may be the first
| evidence Of the disease extending in the
| lungs.
! AT first there may be nothing brought up
| by the cough: then there is little tough
| tenacious mucus, which the patient finds
| great difficulty in bringing up.
| Sometimes there are fits of coughing in
| duced by tough mucuS-sO violent as to cause
| vomiting. Later on. the mucus that is raised
| is found to contain small particles of yellow
matter, which Indicates that the small tubes
! in the lungs are now affected. With this
| there are often streaks OF blood mixed with
| the mucus. III some cases the patient be-
comes very pale, has fever and expectorateS
! before any cough appears.
In some cases small masses of cheesy sub
| stance are spit up, which, when pressed be-
! tween the fingers, emit bad odor. In other
| cases particles of hard, chalky nature are
| spit up. The raising of cheeSy or chalky
| Jumps indicates serious mischief at work into
! the lungs.
In some cases catarrh will extend into the
| lungs in a few weeks; in other cases it may
| be months and even years before the disease
| attacks the lungs sufficiently to cause serious
! interference with the general health. When
| the disease has developed TO such point the
| patient is said to have catarrhal consump-
| ton. With bronchial catarrh there is more
| parts OF the day-slight in the morning,
| higher in the afternoon and evening.
Sometimes during the day the patient has
a creeping, chilly sensation, which may last
| from half an hour to an hour, the surface of
| the body feeling dry and hot. During the
night, near the morning, there may be sweats.
| Such SweatS are known as night sweatS.
| The pulse is usually more rapid than nor
| NAL, and the patient loses flesh and strength.
A fresh cold is all that is needed at this point
| to develop rapid consumption. In some in
! stances the patient loses strength and flesh
| slowly. The muscles gradually waste away.
| Then the patient gradually regains some of
his strength, only to lose it again.
| weak stomach is a dislike for food. which
! seems to have lost its taste, causes the pa
| tient to think he has disease of the stomach
| instead of the lungs. With these diarrhea
| usually occurs, and there is some disturbance
of the kidneys. In bronchial catarrh the
| voice often becomes weak. husky and hoarSe.
| There is burning pain in the throat, with
| difficulty in SUailOWlnp
